Jessica BryanCamp Director

Jessica is looking forward to her fourth summer at Galileo. After two years of instilling creativity, innovation and goofiness as the Assistant Camp Director at Camp Galileo Belmont and San Carlos, she is thrilled to return for her second summer as Camp Director in San Carlos. Jessica earned her bachelor's degree in communication and culture at Indiana University and her master's degree in elementary education at Loyola Marymount University. When she isn't grabbing for the nearest tutu at camp, she is working as a sixth grade teacher during the year. In her free time you can find her cooking, learning new giraffe facts, hiking or collecting sand dollars at the beach.

Camp Galileo Themes

Galileo Rocks

Music-Inspired Art and Instrument Engineering

Unleash your inner maestro as you explore the melodious world of music. Make harmonious creations inspired by musical compositions and the music-influenced art of Picasso, Kandinsky and Bearden. Investigate the science of sound as you engineer instruments or noise-making devices. Get ready to boogie down and turn the innovation up on a toe-tapping, finger-snapping, music-making adventure.

Destination San Francisco

Art and Engineering in the City by the Bay

Set your sights on a spectacular San Francisco adventure. Create art inspired by iconic attractions in Golden Gate Park, on Pier 39 and along the city streets. Engineer Bay Area-style bridges, earthquake-safe buildings or working cable cars. Put some flowers in your hair and say goodbye to your heart on a fog-soaked, innovation-filled journey to the City by the Bay.

Galileo Makers

DIY Art and Real-World Inventions

Developed in collaboration with the Maker Education Initiative

Flex your maker muscle and put a creative spin on everyday objects. Design a personalized stool, clock or pillowcase for your room. Build useful inventions to take home like a vacuum (watch our video) or a secret lock box with an alarm that really works. Harness your innovative energy and join the marvelous maker movement as you transform intriguing ideas into functional, faire-ready reality.

Mount Everest Expedition

Himalayan Art and the Science of Scaling Mountains

Embark on an epic adventure to the earth's highest peak. Create traditional, tactile art inspired by the crafts and cultures of Nepal and Tibet. Master the mechanics of gaining traction on slippery surfaces, building avalanche-safe shelters and making mountain rescues as you build and test your climbing supplies designed for Everest's extreme environment. Pack your bags, plot your route and prepare to reach innovative new heights on the climb of a lifetime.
